(6:11) Justin mentions what his CB handle would be if he had one. (17:11) Justin discusses the steps he took to ensure he had the resources to start his own business. (22:59) According to Justin, one of the mistakes many drivers make is staying in an area to wait for a load that simply pays for their way back while missing out on several days of revenue in a hot zone. (25:15) Justin believes one thing he always encourages drivers to do is to adapt to their location and find out what product is moving from where they are. (26:58) Justin explains that any failures or setbacks he experiences just turn into motivation. (28:53) Justin explains how, like him, when someone begins a business as an owner-operator, they are generally in the red the first year (33:02) Justin explains why he registered 3 Peaks Logistics as an LLC and why business cards registered as an LLC should not be mixed with personal expenses.

I just got that mindset to where I'm not going to be stagnant and I refuse to take steps backwards.” - Justin Robbins “Don't go buy yourself a pair of shoes with your business card because once you start mixing your personal with your business, the LLC is out the window.” - Justin Robbins Resources Mentioned: 3 Peaks Logistics LLC Cameron Pechia Thomas Comstock Ryan Young Valley Trucking Insurance
